 It sounds to me like you lost the timing belt. Was the engine
exhibiting any signs of distress prior to shutting down? Abnormal
noises, high temp, oil light on? How many miles on the car?

I doubt you could throw three rods without putting a hole in the block
somewhere. Since you have the plugs out the next step would be to
remove the oil filler cap and see if you can look in there and see the
camshaft. If so, put a wrench on the end of the crankshaft and give it
a turn and see if the cam moves with it. If not, you can assume you
lost the timing belt. Since you have an interference engine you will
probably need to remove the cylinder head next and see what is damaged.

 Thanks, I am having it haued out of the Kia Dealership to my house and I
will remove the head. First I will see if the engine will hand=crank
backward direction. Then remove the head and inspect the valves, and such to
see what specifically is broken. The spark plugs in three of four cylinders
were flattened. and the belt indeed was broken... hope I can get away with
new valves/seats...
